Genomic Microarray of Rat Alveolar Type 2 cells Following Chronic Ethanol Ingestion

ABSTRACT: Chronic alcohol ingestion changes the alveolar landscape. We used microarrays to characterize the change in mRNA expression following chronic alcohol ingestion in male Sprague Dawley rates (EtOH 36% of calories) We used microarrays to characterize the change in mRNA expression following chronic alcohol ingestion in male Sprague Dawley rats (EtOH 36% of calories for 6 weeks). Control animals were given an isocaloric substitution for EtOH for 6 weeks. Alveolar type 2 cells were isolated using an immuno-absorption /technique and RNA was extracted by Trizol. Four control animals and three EtOH treated animals were used for this study.
